Thursday, April 7, 2011

According to The Repository Of All Knowledge And Wisdom In Our World (aka, Wikipedia) today might be a Valentines-ish type of day in some remote corner of the world or potential worlds. In fact, I'm almost 63% sure that today is, in fact, "Kissing Day" in the western region of Estonia.

Or was that on Epsilon Ceti B II?

Whichever, the point is that I can post old Valentine's cakes without fear of the "fact" police getting all up in my cakey "business."

Now, kiss me, you piece of...chocolate!

After all, you alone hold my heart:

Not to mention my bowels.

What, still not convinced? Then allow me to inscribe a few sweet nothings for you.

[finger gun]

[double wink + finger gun combo]

[licking fingers and smoothing eyebrows]

SO...are you a puddle of oozing desire yet?

No?

Ok, time to break out the big guns:

[tongue waggle]

(You know, whether you read that as a command or an adjective, it's equally romantic.)

Ya know that "Hello Gorges" cake could have been from a bakery in Ithaca, NY, where people have bumper stickers that say "Ithaca Is Gorges."

[Btw, ever since your post disparaging and categorizing us commenters, every time I leave a comment now I wonder which category you are mentally putting me into. I think today I fall into "Know It All," and not in a good way. :-O]

P.S. The verification word is "inizatio" which sounds like something dirty in Estonian.

Man, don't you just hate it when you're in the middle of a huge piping project and you can't for the life of you remember what a capital letter Y looks like? And you try to stumble through with ur txt spk and a complete absence of adverbs, but then you get to the cookies that are supposed to say "Yours Truly" and you're completely stuck! So you furrow your brows and scratch your head and drool a little until you remember what a lowercase "y" looks like-- but that's only half the problem! How on earth are you supposed to extrapolate the shape of a capital "Y" from a lowercase "y"? You chew your thumbnail and rub your eyes and stroke your chin (all at the same time) until you start to picture it... there's a vertical line with... something on top? Suddenly it comes to you in a flash of brilliance: lowercase "y" has a little "v" shape on top, so obviously the top of capital "Y" must be a "-"! Genius! You've saved Val.ntine Day!

Love them!...Although the Gorges one makes a little sense if it comes from the bakery in the pacific northwest. There is a place in Washington State called the Gorges, and all sorts of puns have been made...remind me why I am being serious...hmmm Oh well-Tours TrulyMe

I looked on-line (as in Google search) and there are a bunch of National and International Kissing Days. So, I guess everyday could be considered kissing day somewhere, so feel free to post Valentine's cakes whenever you want! It's OK 'cuz I said so.

I'm Estonian in Estonia but I didn't see any major kissing action anywhere today tho..We DID have the Hug an Estonian Day on February 24..So I went on Wikipedia to investigate. It said: Did you mean: estonian killing day I did not, so I dropped the investigation so I wouldn't find anything more disturbing...

oh.. WESTERN part of Estonia. yeah, those are some crazy people. the things they say about snow make dialectologists make a happy dance.Although my Western-Estonian partner of two years hasn't said anything about any kissing days..

oh my! my dear daughter came over to the computer to see what i was crying / laughing about. Saw the first cake and said " ewww who'd wanna kiss that?"Thanks Jen and John( husband of Jen) for such a great place to harvest some laughs.

The 'fact' police getting all up in your cakey 'business', Jen? Whatever made you come up with that excellent line?

Wikipedia is edited by the sort of people who read things on the Internet and simply must corr... just answered my question.

#1 If Kisses looked like that, Hershey would be out of business.

#2 Indeed. The swirls aren't helping. Trust me.

#3 'Gorges'? On an iced sugar cookie, yet. I would bet that the majority of guys who saw that in the display case laughed at the thought of buying it, then visualized the likely reaction and walked away whistling innocently.

#4 @Tina, that definitely looks like mustard. The work of Mrs. Cropley lives on!

#5 This is what happens when people work in swet-shop conditions.

#6 I must point out that 'Sun Shin' sounds more Korean that Estonian. I wouldn't call the Fact Police, but someone else might.

#7 Yuck.

#8 Why is there more than one 'Tours Truly'? Is there a machine that spits these things out? I wonder why that idiom came to mind.

I'm glad I am neurotic about reading the comments first before posting. Otherwise, I would have been asking what that first cake was all about....*that* was supposed to be a candy Kiss. Thanks, Craig. I never would have gotten that.

That last one looks like Mrs. Joker.

Oh my! What happened to the wv?! It looks like that Sachertorte Epcot. I seriously don't know if I can make that out....nope. Trying again....

I would love to give someone I was ticked off at the first cake: "Kiss my s***!" But if I did, I wouldn't be a good follower of the wisdom of the G8 philosopher Sun Shin, the author of "The Arm of Wart." But people often mistake his sayings for those of Confuse-us.

My brain exploded over that first one. Ewwwwwww kissed by a pile of poo lol. And come on they can try and spell check when they write on cakes and cookies..can't they? At least none of these was sorry for giving anyone herpes lol.

Just like I have never gone in the ocean without thinking of a great white shark after seeing JAWS, so too will I never eat another Hershey's Kiss without thinking of that smiley-face, google-eyed, warm-looking turd of chocolate on that first "Kiss Me" cake!!!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
